The power company had to switch off the power in order to work on something. It went off at about 8am, when I was asleep. I had to get up at 10:30 anyway because it was hair cut day. After that, I figured since the power was out I should get the PSP out and play it. So I found a sudoku game at the store and bought it. Rainbow Islands Revolution sucks beca...

I have a new Windows 8 computer and have been trying to get everything set up the way it was on my Windows 7 PC. I knew that I made a screenshot of my Stella TV Effects settings, so I went searching Manage Attachments under My Settings here at AtariAge and finally found it on page 26:

NOTE: I want to clarify that this is an advanced Atari 2600 programming series. As such, I will not be covering basic things like triggering a Vertical Sync, what a Kernel is, why you need to set a timer for Vertical Blank, etc. If you need to learn that you should check out with the following:

It's been a long time since my last episode of Homebrew Youtube Exposure. Been busy with school and all that jazz.

Today's episode is a big one with 4 Atari 7800 games: Pac Man, Jr. Pac Man, Beef Drop, and Santa Simon. I didn't take part in any of the vids. Kage Negra/Tiggy Smalls did the Pac Man games and got more Pac Man games on her agenda...

For those who've never heard of it, Unity is a cross-platform game creation system: http://en.wikipedia....ty_(game_engine)

I bought a new 42" lcd tv for replace my old 32" lcd. Went to the store thinking to buy a 40" but the 42" price was good.
The problem was not the screen size, for me 32" was ok, but my old lcd had really bad contrast.

In the store I saw for the first time a huge (85" or so) 4k tv. But the 4k image quality looks better on smaller models.

The control system for the lights on LEGO’s Spinax has been prototyped and programed for a simple sequence. If your only interest is to see it in operation, check out the link to the YOUTUBE video. If you want more information read on.

So while trying to do up semi-humanoid characters, I realized I suck at doing this. More than I anticipated that is. So, let's just BS an armless blob of a monster with stubby feet and call it the hero! It's going to be "fun" trying to figure out what this guy's powers are going to be. XD

In the early 80's, keyboards on 'lower-end' computers left many users wanting improvement. The TI-99/4A did not have the worst keyboard out there, but there was still room for improvement. One company of the era took up the challenge, but I'm sorry to say, it missed the mark a little...

[#030] i missed out on Breaking Bad during it's run on television but after getting hooked on Better Call Saul (a spin-off show), I went back to start binge-watching as the whole series is on Netflix. i finally finished it up today.

i've got some people at work to yell at. they described the series finale as God's gift to television. it was n...

While I'm busy with all things rB+ I've done a bit more work on the Doger tutorial game. There's new enemy sprites in the road section (5 sets of animated cat animations with different perspective, displayed based on their individual x-position for each of the 15 sprites). I've made a short tutorial to show how this is achieved and it's posted to the rB+...

I know everyone is more interested in the 7800 game I've been working on but I just wanted to share some news about my newest graphic novel, 'Pirate Invasion of Castle Rack.' Copies are available here . There will also be a Kindle version.

It's about dragon pirates invading Castle Rack and it's up to Erica, Allan and the r...

I've never been much of a game programmer by myself, and oftentimes I need a hand writing stuff.

Lately, I've found out about a couple so-called "sprite cards" that add a TMS9918 video display processor to the stock Apple ][, and this got me thinking, would people be interested in this stuff, if there were software for it? So I figured I'd try to...

So it seems that I've been taking an annual "staycation" to play video games since 2009. Holy Fnck, that means I've been doing this for SEVEN years! This tradition started in Jan of 2009 when my wife and I had been basically ripped off by a contractor we paid to remodel our home. He stole about 17k from us and we ended up with no kitchen...

I added background scrolling to this game. It does lag the game a bit. I divided the task up for the enemy object to occur every 3 frames, so 2 enemy movement would be process per frame. Every frame or so, it'll lag a frame since the tiles are redrawn every 8 pixel have been scrolled. So every 48 frames, it'll have that on...
